Tap and go with new payment card
Even without a smartphone, cash customers can enjoy the same
convenience and value as those who purchase monthly and
annual passes by using GoPass Tap cards.
Customers will be able to add value to their accounts with cash
or a credit/debit card. The GoPass Tap cards are reloadable and
registrable, so if the card is lost, one’s money is protected.
DART has installed electronic validators on buses and at rail
platforms. Riders will tap their GoPass Tap Card at the validator
and the system will determine and charge the best fare.
Future upgrades will allow the validators to accept Apple Pay,
Android Pay or Samsung Pay. On the trains, fare enforcement
officers will use hand-held devices to verify that customers
did tap before boarding.
The agency plans to deploy the GoPass Tap card in fall 2018.
